No, renewable energy produces no polluting carbon dioxide (CO2) or any other gas. This is why it is preferred over fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas), the burning of which in industry, transport and the generation of electricity is causing global warming.

∙ 8y agoNo, wind does not produce greenhouse gases.
If you mean burps and farts, then yes, gas produced by organic matter (food) decomposing anaerobically (in a dark place with no oxygen) is methane, which is a potent greenhouse gas. So yes, that kind of wind from humans and ruminant animals is a greenhouse gas.

What gases are produced by man in the greenhouse effect?
Humans produce the greenhouse gases of carbon dioxide (by burning coal, oil and natural gas, all fossil fuels), as well as some methane from our landfill practices and our pig and cattle farming. We also still emit some CFCs and other halon gases.
Is electricity produced by burning greenhouse gases?
When coal and oil are burnt to generate electricity, they are converted almost entirely to greenhouse gases. When natural gas is burnt to generate electricity, some of it is converted to water and some is converted to carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas. Because of this, natural gas is preferable as a fuel, compared to coal and oil. Generating electricity from wind, water flow (hydro-electricity), solar energy and hot rocks (geothermal electricity) emits no greenhouse gases.
Which type of energy releases greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
Natural gas
What type of energy released greenhouse gases when used to make electricity?
coal and natural gas
What is meant by the term greenhouse effect listing the three most significant greenhouse gases?
The term "greenhouse effect" is made up of two different effects: "Natural and Man-made". There is a "natural" greenhouse effect that keeps the Earth's climate warm and habitable. There is also the "man-made" greenhouse effect, which is the enhancement of Earth's natural greenhouse effect by the addition of greenhouse gases from the burning of fossil fuels (mainly petroleum, coal, and natural gas). The three most significant green houses gases and the amount they contribute are water vapor (80%), carbon dioxide (6%) and methane (1%). Nature produces 99.7% of all green house gas emissions.
Does nature produce greenhouse gases?
Natural gas is a greenhouse gas, methane, and when it is burnt it releases the other greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
What are the main gases of the greenhouse?
Burning of coal, oil (including gasoline), and natural gas to produce carbon dioxide. Also decomposing of vegetable and animal matter to produce methane.
What kind of gases are released by the burning of natural gas?
Greenhouse gases, like Carbon dioxide (CO2).
Which activity produces the smallest amount of greenhouse gases?
Humans produce greenhouse gases in many ways. Operating a generator or cooking with gas both will produce greenhouses gases. However, riding a bicycle will not.
What adds to the greenhouse effect?
More greenhouse gases, whenever we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas).
What is oxygens role in greenhouse gases?
Oxygen is not a greenhouse gas. It deceases the greenhouse gases.
How have human activities changed the greenhouse gases?
Human activities like burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation have increasedlevels of greenhouse gases.
Would greenhouse gases increase in the greenhouse effect?
Greenhouse gases will increase as long as we keep burning fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas causing global warming.
Are greenhouse gases and natural gases ultimately the same?
A1. Natural gas is methane, CH4. It is a greenhouse gas, but far from the only one. Carbon dioxide, CO2, is the one that we are most concerned about.A2. But man made gases such as sulfur dioxide, and the fluorocarbons, (and more) also play their parts.
What natural greenhouses gases are associated with the greenhouses effect?
A greenhouse gas is a gas in the atmosphere that takes in and releases radiation. The greenhouse effect is more of a process in which radiation is emitted in different directions after being absorbed by greenhouse gases.
How have humans or natural changes created greenhouse gases?
Humans create greenhouse gases by burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity, which releases carbon dioxide (CO2). Cattle rearing and rice paddy fields release methane (CH4), another greenhouse gas. Natural causes of greenhouse gases are volcano eruptions, and the rotting of any organic matter (trees, plants and animals).
What gases are produced by man in the greenhouse effect?
Humans produce the greenhouse gases of carbon dioxide (by burning coal, oil and natural gas, all fossil fuels), as well as some methane from our landfill practices and our pig and cattle farming. We also still emit some CFCs and other halon gases.
